Device Story
Resor-Pin is a resorbable membrane pin used in oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery. It functions as a fixation device to secure membranes during guided bone regeneration procedures. The device is intended for use by dental or maxillofacial surgeons in a clinical setting. By providing stable fixation for membranes, it facilitates bone regeneration in surgical sites. The device is designed to be resorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for a secondary removal procedure.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Resorbable membrane pin for surgical fixation. Material properties allow for degradation over time. Device is intended for sterile surgical application.
Indications for Use
